B. Wouldn't TKP/Angel's ass would be normal Mary Sue? Though I guess if you didn't name me Tary K Pue and actually kept me as TKP, it *would* qualify as RPS. Huh. Never thought about that. There's a defense of Mary Suedom or an offense on RPF in there, somewhere. C. I ask because Robin McKinley is one of those who, like Anne Rice, has publicly spoken and lobbied against it. Have I mentioned I think she's a bitch in RL?
J. I don't see how that's a problem. Seriously. K. I loved the endings of both, but yeah, you're right, Buffy I want to end end and Angel I want to know what happens next. But that answer wasn't sitting right with me, and I think the explanation for my sadness actually has more to do with what germaine_pet says above: comics aren't really a medium I'm inclined to care deeply about or shed tears over. Possibly I just haven't been reading the right comics; I don't know.
U. I find A/Ns annoying, but I tend to write them because I feel the need to make excuses for myself. I *hate* it when other authors do that. W. Ooh, maybe the guilt; maybe there's shame in falling in love with someone you've been forced to be with.
That could very well be it.
The best forced marriage fic I've ever read is Protocol, by thebratqueen. I doubt you'll like it--it's A/Wes, and ANgel is a KING and Wesley is a SLAVEBRIDE TYPE THING and there's a KITTEN and god, it's so good. TBQ is a genius. The voices are SPOT ON for each character, even though they're in such a bizarre situation.
